The opinion is freely expressed in this

half the amount subscribed, but there still
remains over $4,000 to be collected 1t is
probable that many of the subscriptions
will he scratched off in view of the Presi-

to-day submitted a report. They visited the
penitentiary and found that the prisoners
premises were clean and in order In the
hospital twenty-six patients were found, the
larger number having been brought
in from work outside A majority
of these patients were sick with
consumption and other incurable diseases,
and bear marks on their backs of most in
human and brutal treatment, being cut in
a most cruel manner, and in many in
stances the skin is peeling Of. The feet and
hands of some of the men are frost-btten,
and all of them have the stamp of manhood
almost blotted out of their faces, showing
that their treatment has been worse than a
nation of savages would inflict upon its con-
victS. The report is very full.

ton to the difficulty with District Assembly

unite in paying imperial tribute to Vic
toria. From Australia, India and
Continental Europe have come regal
presents, a freight of treasure that
promises to excel the richness of her
! bridal gifts nearly FIVE decades ago.
While London is given up to rejoicings
and festivities, packing every thor
oughfare through which the cortege
will pass, crowding even the roofs of
houses IN hope of viewing their sover-
eign, similar demonstrations will be
held in New York, Paris and many
another city: Each smallest detail
connected with this stout, unhandsome
but naughty and accomplished old
lady is at present of immense interest
to every class of society: The gor
geousness of her jewels, the richness OF
her dress and even the number OF
orders to blaze upon her ample bosom
are greedily read Of and discussed IN
this democratic country. Fabulous
prices are paid by Radical and Tory
alike for the opportunity of watching
cream -colored horses as they draw
their royal mistress through the streets
Of her capital, and those who fail in
securing the privilege will devour the
minutest account of her bearing on
that day.
The feminine world has reason to
rejoice in Victoria as their representa-
tive of the sex in high places. Much
is said of English entertainments on
royal prerogatives, but sufficient au-
thority has been left in their Queens
hands to have rendered her a power
ful and dangerous monarch, one who
could have worked grievous harm pub
licly and privately to her people had
either her head CT heart been less
strong and virtuous than time has
proven them. She is depicted by
those who know best as an intelligent,
fair minded, thoughtful woman, who
never permits impulse or passion for
one instant to control her able judg-
ment. Far from being figure head,
she conducts much Of the business of
State personally, being thoroughly
posted as to the important affairs of
her empire. Possessing characteristics
that in private life would have entitled
her to consideration, as EngIand's
Queen she is a woman whose every
influence has been directed to emo
bling herself and position among the
great ones Of the earth. On Tuesday
Victoria will wear a black satin
shrouded in white lace, with the rose,
thistle and shamrock embroidered III
their natutal tints. Her widows cap
will be completely encrusted with dia-
monds. The Kohinoor, the famous
pearl necklace, and insignias of all the
great English orders will add to the
magnificent display made by the crown
jewels. Alexandria, the Princess of
Wales, will be but degree less splen-
did in cloth of gold, also enriched
with embroideries of the three national
flowers.

IN HONOR OF THE GOOD

Tuesday, June 2Ist, was the fftieth
anniversary of the reign of Queen
Victoria, and the day was celebrated
with becoming pomp and ceremony,
not only within her own kingdom but
throughout the country. Speaking of
it in advance the New Orleans Tines
Democrat says this:
The grandest demonstration in
honor OF a woman, known to ancient
or mordern times, will be made Teus-
day in the biggest city of the world.
The Victorian jubilee will surpass in
magnifcence all previous pageants
marking her splendid reign. This
mighty Queen of the British Empire
has been vouchsafed a life unique in
the annals of history, career replete
with interest to mankind. Never be-
fore has a woman held the sovereignty
OF country so long within her grasp,
involving power that extends to the
uttermost parts of the earth. Before
the peace, prosperity, er-enlighten-
ment and enormous extension of
dominion that has characterized the
century she has ruled. even Elizabeth S
lmperlous reign sinks into comparative
tauieness. On this anniversary of fifty
years Of royal authority the world will
